He answered the call and said nothing.
Shen Jue's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a smile that couldn't be concealed:
"Zhao Chen, are you still reviewing the test?"
Zhao Chen said:
"Yes."
Shen Jue asked:
"Have you guessed who it is?"
Zhao Chen was silent for a second:
"I didn't guess it before, but I guessed it now. No one has the courage except you."
Shen Jue smiled happily:
"I like to hear what you say."
She paused, and there was a hint of seriousness in her tone:
"But Zhao Chen, I have to tell you the truth - I'm not just taking action to help you."
Zhao Chen said nothing, waiting for her to continue.
Shen Jue said:
"Do you know what I regret most?"
Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly:
"What?"
Shen Jue said:
"Last year during the Short Squeeze war, I sold the 30 million shares to Short Sellers at a price of 15 yuan."
There was a trace of annoyance in her voice:
"At that time, I felt that 15 yuan was high enough, so I settled for safety. What was the result? Henglong rushed all the way to over 20 yuan."
She paused:
"So this time, someone hit the market at 15 yuan, and my eyes lit up."
Zhao Chen's mouth corners raised slightly.
Shen Jue continued:
"I'm buying it back now at 15 yuan, which is equivalent to buying back the chips I sold last year at the original price. This is a bargain, and I don't want to take advantage of it."
She smiled:
"Those fund managers also have the same mentality. I made money with you last time, and this time I have the opportunity to get back on the bus at 15 yuan. Who wouldn't want to?"
Zhao Chen said:
"So how much did you eat today?"
Shen Jue said:
"Seven or eight of us, together with more than a dozen accounts, bought at least 20 million shares today. The average price is around 15."
She paused:
"We will eat as much as Lu Shen smashes it. He should have noticed it - the position of 15 yuan has an iron wall."
Zhao Chen leaned on the back of the chair and looked out the window.
The sunset was red, dyeing the whole city a warm color.
"Shen Jue," he said, "Can you estimate how many positions Lu Shen still has now?"
Shen Jue was silent for two seconds, obviously going through the data in his mind:
"Today, he sold at least 30 million shares. During the fluctuation period, he closed no more than 10 million shares.
In addition to the previous ones, he should still have..."
She paused:
"At least 80 million shares."
Zhao Chen nodded:
"It's about as good as I expected."
Shen Jue said:
"80 million shares, based on the current market price, would make a profit of more than 200 million.
The problem is, it's not easy to lend money now. It's only been so long since the last Short Squeeze incident, and the brokers won't let him do whatever he wants."
Zhao Chen asked:
"How to say?"
Shen Jue said:
"I heard that he pledged Jiahe's equity and added his status as the vice president of Blackstone China to be able to raise so many bonds.
If Short Selling still makes no progress, who among those institutions that have coupons will dare to lend it to him again?"
She paused:
"He has only two options now. Either continue to create panic and force retail investors to cut their losses so that he can close their positions. Or he can admit his losses and buy back the bonds obediently."
Zhao Chen said nothing.
Shen Jue asked:
"Which one do you think he will choose?"
Zhao Chen made a little joke:
"I think he might as well find someone to kill me."
Shen Jue was also very cooperative and said:
"That can really create panic.
Now that your press conference has been held, the evidence has been presented, workers have been paid, and taxes are welcome to be checked.
That's probably what he's most likely to do!"
"Haha..." Zhao Chen said happily, "It seems I have to be more careful when going out these days."
Shen Jue humorously replied:
"You can't fall down!"
Zhao Chen looked out the window, his voice was very steady:
"Don't worry! He doesn't dare."
He calmed down and then said, "Don't worry, everything said in the press conference is true. Henglong can withstand any test."
Shen Jue took a gentle breath on the other end:
"With your words, I feel much more at ease."
She paused:
"Zhao Chen, last time Short Squeeze, the lesson I gave Short Sellers was not enough. This time, we have to let them remember."
Zhao Chen nodded:
"Okay."
Shen Jue said:
"Then what next?"
Zhao Chen thought for a while:
"Tonight, there will be a surprise waiting for you."
Shen Jue was stunned for a moment:
"What surprise?"
Zhao Chen smiled:
"We'll know when the time comes."
He hung up the phone.
Chen Xi's eyes lit up when he heard:
"Zhao Zong, what surprise are you talking about?"
Zhao Chen has no answer.
He looked out the window and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Shen Jue, don't you regret selling those 30 million shares?
I'll let you make another one.
Zhao Chen did not answer Chen Xi.
He walked to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed the number Liu Mingyu:
"Secretary Liu, come to my office."
Five minutes later, Liu Mingyu opened the door and came in. His face was still tired after the press conference, but there was a light of relief in his eyes.
"Chairman Zhao, are you looking for me?"
Zhao Chen nodded:
"Send an announcement."
Liu Mingyu was stunned for a moment:
"Now? What to send?"
Zhao Chen said:
"Let's just say that the company is operating normally and we are concerned about the recent market fluctuations.
There will be further Information Disclosure before the market opens tomorrow."
Liu Mingyu blinked:
"That's all?"
Zhao Chen nodded:
"That's all."
Liu Mingyu hesitated for a moment:
"Chairman Zhao, after this announcement is made, how will the market interpret it? Will it feel like we are trying to whet our appetite?"
Zhao Chen looked at him:
"What do you think?"
Liu Mingyu thought for a while:
"Maybe... some people think it's a benefit, and some people think it's a mystery."
Zhao Chen said:
"Then let them guess."
He paused:
"The more people guess, the more popular it will be when the market opens tomorrow."
Liu Mingyu's eyes lit up:
"You mean..."
Zhao Chen No explanation:
"Go and send it."
Liu Mingyu nodded, turned and left.
Chen Xi was watching all this and couldn't help but say:
"Zhao Zong, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
Zhao Chen leaned on the back of the chair and looked at her:
"Tell me, what is Lu Shen most afraid of now?"
Chen Xi thought for a while:
"What I'm most afraid of... is it good for us to make a profit?"
Zhao Chen nodded:
"Yes. He currently holds 80 million shares of Short Position in his hands. What he fears most is that the stock price rises. As long as the stock price rises, his floating losses will expand."
He paused:
"So I'm going to keep him awake."
Chen Xi's eyes lit up:
"Is this announcement of yours just to scare him?"
Zhao Chen said:
"Yes. This time I will not only defeat him materially, but also torture him mentally."
He stood up and walked to the window:
"Lu Shen, if you deal with a person like him, either you don't take action, or if you do, your throat will be sealed with blood.
After this time, he will no longer have a place in the capital market."
Outside the window, the city lights are bright.
Chen Xi looked at his back and suddenly felt that this man was really terrible.
He's not fighting back.
He is sniping his opponent with precision.
